Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-3-These books feature large type, interesting photographs, and fun facts relating to each site. The vocabulary is advanced for younger readers, but the scope is narrow enough to provide basic information about the background, individuals involved, and construction of the structure or monument for reports. Attractive starting points for assignments.-Krista Tokarz, Cuyahoga County Public Library, OH (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review
Each of these books intended for young readers enumerates a variety of facts about an important American monument, but the facts are often unrelated and the short sentences are awkward. Additionally, Murray leaves out crucial information (there are no maps locating the featured monument in the appropriate part of the country). The graphics and stock photos add little to the books.
